Offered annually in the winter quarter, this ten-week course aims to demystify public safety, build trust, and develop partnerships between the police department and the community it serves.

Topics include:
•Laws of Arrest/Search & Seizure
•Alcohol Laws/DUI Wet Lab
•Patrol Procedures, Safety, & Vehicle Stops
•CSI vs. Reality
•Emergency Communications
•Defensive Tactics and Deadly Force

In addition to the weekly class, participants are invited to attend field trips including but not limited to visiting the Santa Clara County Coroner’s Office, the San Jose Main Jail, and The Academy in San Jose. The course is open to all Stanford students, staff, and residents.
